Streets of Old

Morning everyone

Hope you all have a lovely day

I'm excited to share more samples for the brand new Eureka Picture Perfect Postcards collection of stamps, tools and dies being released today on c&c by
Stamps By Me 

Stunning hand drawn scenes that can be watercoloured or used in a more contemporary way.

Today's samples are using the very beautiful and quaint
Streets of Old stamp set

Also used:
Cross Stitch Frame die
With Love Tags 2 die
Wildflower stamps
Newspaper Cuttings stamp
Distress Oxides
Distress Inks
Versafine
Stencils

I used Walnut Stain DI to "age" a photo frame, then painted a layer of Mod Podge to set it.
Fossilized Amber DO was blended onto some card and the Newspaper Cuttings stamped randomly in Brushed Corduroy DI
The Streets of Old were stamped in Walnut Stain DI and the ink dragged with a water brush, to emphasise the darker areas

The Streets of Old were stamped onto cream card, in Brushed Corduroy DI and the ink dragged with a water brush
The Wildflower 4 & 5 were stamped in a mixture of Peeled Paint and Fossilized Amber DO and Brushed Corduroy DI

The background was created using Worn Lipstick, Iced Spruce and Fossilized Amber DO. These were applied to a glass mat, spritzed with water and the card dragged through the inks
The Streets of Old were stamped in Brushed Corduroy DI and the knk dragged into the shadow with a water brush
The Cross Stitch die was used to frame the stamped image
The sentiment die is from With Love Tags 2 die set

I hope you like this beautiful image as much as I do.

Many thanks for popping by and I'll be back tomorrow with a few more samples

Be Glamorous by Stamps By Me

Hello

Are we feeling glamorous today ? Lol

Well here's a sample I made using the
Be Glamorous stamp set and new
Cross Stitch Frame die. Both are available from
Stamps By Me 

Also used:
Green Tourmaline Pearl embossing powder
Versmark Ink pad

• Using the dies, cut 3 frames, in decreasing sizes.  In the smallest one use the die to cut out an aperture 
• Using this aperture frame as a guide, stamp the flower onto the second die cut, in Versmark ink and heat emboss in the green embossing powder 
• Apply some of the Versmark ink around the edge of your card blank and heat emboss in the green
• Adhere your die cut layers to your card blank
• Stamp and heat emboss the sentiment onto some black card. Stamp and heat emboss around the edges, and adhere with foam pads, to complete your card 

I how you enjoyed today's post
